I have returned once again to this wonderful album - it is a history book as well as great photography - all very masterfully composed in a precise order. I never tire of its beauty. Carol

Wonderful tour of these cathedrals. They tell us a history.The beautiful artistry that is represented in these buildings alone is a tribute to the men who created them. To play these organs would be wondrous pleasure and a prayer to God who makes this all possible.Can't say enough about the light and clarity, the sharpness of the carefully orchestrated fotos.

Jacques..As I was sitting at the computer viewing this awesome album..one frame at a time..putting myself in your place as you record these 12th century Gothic Structures...You can "feel" the presence of ALMIGHTY GOD who is in the midst...Such an awesome feeling to view such structures which were built centuries ago by workers who were inspired by God to erect these beautiful buildings...Thank you so much for sharing these awesome & fantastic images with all your detailed information (others have also said this in comments below)...Congratulations on being selected as "Featured Members of the Week" as this is a Tribute & Honor for your dedicated passion to present such awesome albums...God's Blessings from Texas...Ken

Cher Ami, me voila! I have looked again at this re-structured album, which is by now a very good guide for those who intend to visit France in the future and learn at least something of French history and art. The Cathedrals are irreplaceable monuments created by the human race.There are some 38 photos that I consider remarkable: Paris Cathedral- 105 &107; Soissons Cathedral - 163, 164,166,167; Chartres Cathedral - 174, 175,177,179; Bourges Cathedral - 184,185,186,188,196,197; Amiens Cathedral - 202,204,206,208; Beauvais Cathedral - 214,217,218; Sens Cathedral -114,115,116,118; Saint-Denis Cathedral -124,125; Noyon Cathedral- 135,138; Senlis Cathedral - 142, 144, 147; Laon Cathedral - 151,152,154,156. The figures are those in front of every photo title. I think of the effort and time it took you to make the choice and create a unified whole. Every person interested by such a subject would be grateful to you for this magnificent presentation. With everlasting admiration, Gabriela

Bonjour Jacques, formidable rassemblement de photos sur toutes ces cathédrales. Album très interessant et instructif à feuilleter en plus du plaisir de voir de belles photos. Bien amicalement. Ange

Bonjour Jacques! More beautiful photos of spectacular places. I love the Chagall window in Reims - it's so... Blue! Thanks for this great collection. With warmth and friendship, Beth

said bvillanyi 2004.10.19 at 08:51:57 PDT

Hi Jacques, I returned to see the completion of your set of gothic sisters - very nice! After Paris, Rheims is my favorite and I like your creative perspective shot of this magnificent cathedral. Cheers! Beth

Bonsoir Jacques ! Je te remercie de ton témoignage sur mon album de "frustrations& quot; et j'adhère à 100% à tes remarques. Ton point n° 4 frappe d'autant plus juste que j'ai eu de nombreux messages m'informant que le problème des stats que nous semblons avoir pour une grande partie d'entre-nous en ce moment, ne semble pas être perçu par les membres des US ... En revanche, toutes les réponses que j'ai eues sur ce point provenant de membres non US confirment ce point ... étrange, non ? Il semblerait donc que ce ne soit pas un pb des membres français, mais plutôt des membres non US en général. Et si WS était en train de "dégoûter&qu ot; ses membres non US pour faire "de la place" sur leur site qu'il n'arrivent plus à gérer ? ce n'est peut-être pas la bonne explication, mais l'idée me séduit quand même. Si je prends un peu de recul, c'est quand même incroyable à quel point un organisme de ce type peut nous apporter, par son mauvais fonctionnement, de telles frustrations !!! Je suis un peu effrayée par l'importance que ce WS a pris dans notre vie .... d'autant plus qu'il y a un an, je n'y pensais même pas ! ce point me perturbe beaucoup ... J'aimerais laisser tomber WS, mais j'ai du mal à l'envisager car tous les autres sites que j'ai visités n'offrent rien de comparable, même indépendamment du prix d'abonnement. Peut-être va-t-il falloir recréer quelque chose d'équivalent alleurs ... Je crois que si j'avais la dispo, j'essaierais de faire quelque chose. Mais avec mon boulot, c'est hors de question pour l'instant ... dommage, c'est vraiment le genre d'entreprise pour laquelle je me sents une VRAIE motivation. Bon, j'arrête là mes divagations existencielles et à bientôt, Amitiés, Chantal

A fantastic album that I miss in past and that I discover today; happy for that detection I'm also grateful with you for this collection. I love the moyen age and I think that its'nt the shady time that is described in many books. For sure in first years it was a black age, but then it was also an age of new hope and reversal.... it had in it the seeds of our time and in my opinion we are the children of moyen age. Anyway .... the quality of your shots is great as usual and your comments are fantastics.... I LIKE the love that you put in your job and the accurancy of your descriptions !!! An applause mainly at photos: 10, 22, 30, 38, 64, 75 and 83.... I love details..... A friendly CIAO and again thanks for the virtual visit! Ruggero

said mauriziomalangone 2004.09.11 at 22:19:13 PDT

Hello Jacques! This an exquisite trip through the ages of cathedrals. The 12th century and the early 13th century seem to have been the age of building 'Notre- Dame' all over France. I have not been to many of them. I thank you for the pictures. I loved the stained glass windows. Many of the are truly beautiful work. Thank you too for the captions without which I would have been groping for relevance of any particular cathedral. Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos. Best wishes, Suresh

said suresh_krishna 2004.09.11 at 20:29:32 PDT

Hi Jacques! These are great! What a fabulous collection. We love to visit the great cathedrals when we go to Europe and you have captured them so beautifully. Great job! Warm greetings from California, Beth

said bvillanyi 2004.09.11 at 18:33:53 PDT

WOOOOOOW, Jacques!!! What a wonderful and interesting collection of all the french, gothic cathedrales!!! You've such a great eye for the beauty and know how to capture what you see!!! I love your details shots as well as your wide angle shots!!! Great compositions!!! Congratulations on another fine work and thank you very much for sharing!!! God bless you, my friend!!!

Beautiful collection of cathedrals. Loved the architecture and the stained glass windows. Great photography!

said amhalveytoo 2004.08.11 at 06:51:00 PDT

A spiritual journey that is pure and peaceful! Masterpieces within as the subject and how you captured the serenity of it. brilliant! The stained glass photos are so clear, bright, vivid and the use of light is perfect. I love the shots where you have used the light streaming in from above in the dome and other areas. Visually stunning in many ways. Thanks for sharing, best regards to you and take care!

Greetings, Jacques. Yet antoher beautiful album. I managed to see the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris in 1974; the pictures bring back memories. I haven't seen the other cathedrals, but some parts of them are even more beautiful. Nice to see you working close to home - with such great results. As always, a few minutes of my time viewing your album was very much worth it. John N.

said nierenj 2004.08.05 at 07:53:35 PDT

Mon tres cher amis, WHY on earth would you do such a thing ??????I have just NOW (after having already viewed the album) received the invitation to this latest album, which is NOT "the complete set", as you call it, but only a GRAND REVIEW. I feel VERY SAD AT HEART for the decision you have taken! Removing your UNIQUE albums on Mediaeval Cathedrals would be like removing half of your own self. Webshots is almost blind to quality, but we are a small community of memebers inside Webshots who love, admire and enjoy this part of your work! Personally, I disagree with your way of thinking as I look upon it as a loss of interesting, beautiful, creative and informative work of great quality!Please, THINK IT OVER! Gabriela

said shukun20 2004.08.05 at 06:52:45 PDT

Very beautiful Album Jacques, I too remember many of these photos. You have put a lot of your self into this album and it shows. Your lighting is awesome, the inside pictures are perfectly taken and exposed. Beautiful photos of a fantastic place and you have captured it so well. I would dearly love to see one of your great works featured. You work so hard to put a good album on. It would make my day so much better to see this or any of your albums in the featured section..Wake up Webshots! This is powerful stuff. God bless and keep you Pierre and Jacques. Marianne

Tres affectueusement, Gabriela

Re-bonjour Jacques : pardonnes moi la faute dans le message précédent. Il faut lire "beaucoup de photos à regarder, mais PAS un seul instant de lassitude !" ... Enfin je pense que tu auras rectifié de toi-même ! A bientôt, Chantal

Bonjour Jacques ! Je suis honorée d'être la première à signer ton guestbook sur cet album fabuleux ! Un très jolie et très élaborée synthèse de tes autres albums sur Notre dame et ses soeurs gothiques. Encore une fois : beaucoup de photos à regarder, mais un seul instant de lassitude ! Bravo pour ce très bel album et merci de nous faire partager ce si beau travail. A bientôt, amitiés, Chantal
